Invite attendees to a Teams live event

As a live event organizer, one of your responsibilities is inviting attendees. When you schedule a live event in Teams, it only sends the calendar invite to event team members.

In Teams, click Calendar
on the left side of the app.

Select the live event.

For events that'll be produced in Teams, select Get link to copy the live event link so you can invite attendees as you see fit—share it in a Teams channel, send an email, share it on a website, or add it to a collaboration group.

Note: Don't try to invite attendees via another Teams meeting! It will have its own meeting link associated with it, which will not let them into the live event and might cause confusion.

Tip: We recommend using a URL shortener. That way, if something goes wrong, you can make changes to the live event address without having to change and resend the URL you sent to the attendees.

Your attendees will be able to watch the event in Teams—desktop (Windows or Mac), web, or mobile. If they don't have Teams, they can also use a browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
